Transport to and from College for 2015

General Bus and Rail Information

1. Nearly all students now use a Snapper card. Students are able to get a school ID card that doubles as a Snapper Card and allows students to use them to pay for public transport. 2014 cards are valid for 2015 unless the photo is out of date. New ID cards will be processed in week 2. They will be supplied a few weeks later. The College provides students with the ability to top up these Snapper Cards at school.

2. Please refer to the attached sheets for descriptions of various routes which the buses are scheduled to follow – Tranzit bus routes will now pick up and drop off as designated metlink bus stops (see route details) fully updated routes will be sent out in the new year.

3. Rail passes may be purchased from the Uniform Shop but must be ordered prior to the end of each term.

NB: Term 1 passes must be ordered by the end of Week 1 of Term 1. Parents/Boys may ring (3808536) the Uniform Shop prior to the start of term to order rail passes.

4. As from Wednesday 28 January all school bus and shuttle services will resume.

5. Scots boys should assemble well back from the footpath. It is expected that all boys will behave in an orderly manner.

Any boy reported for misbehaving on a bus may well be banned from using this form of transport.

Under no circumstances are Senior and Middle School students to travel on buses designated as Prep School only without permission.

6. The afternoon buses for the Prep School depart at 3.25pm and buses for the Middle and Senior Schools depart at 3.40pm. However, it is possible for Prep School boys to remain behind and catch the later bus which travels via Roseneath to the Railway Station.

Khandallah, and Buses

In 2015 the College will be operating buses to and from , Crofton Downs and Churton Park.

Details regarding the routes of these buses are given in the following pages. These routes are reviewed throughout the year and parents will be notified of any changes if they occur. In 2015 all Tranzit service stops will be from metlink bus stops. All these stops are coded with a unique number which can be searched and mapped using the http://www.metlink.org.nz/ site. Boys will only be picked up and dropped off at these stops to adhere to new health and safety rules regarding Tranzit operations. Students wishing to use these services must complete the registration form available from the College website and passes will be issued on a termly basis. Charges will be per term and preference will be given to students travelling every day and in both directions.
